I can't believe I've lived to see the day that our government finally recognizes the medicinal benefits of this plant medicine we call cannabis! It might still be a long time before Trump's Executive Order moves the rescheduling classification but considering the crook who was Richard Nixon still haunts me after 55 years of creating that CSA. I will give credit to President Trump for getting something moving in the right direction. We have industry reaction from Paul Armentano, and Morgan Fox of the NORML in this A Block of Cannabis Coast to Coast News with Alaina Pinto. Plus the General Counsel of the US H**p Roundtable Jonathan MIller. The link to the full show with reactions from the MPP Exeuctive Director Adam Smith, Director of Government Relations of the NCIA Michelle Rutter Friberg, and Kim Sanchez Rael of Acuca edibles.

This is why doing recorded news sucks. There are some ugly stories emerging from the week in Las Vegas at MJBiz Con. A genetics company got busted during the show and we will cover that next week on our Cannabis Coast to Coast News with Alaina Pinto. Here's more of a personal reflection of what drives this industry. Hope.

What a long week in Las Vegas at MJBiz Con 2025! A totally over whelming three days in a reinvigorating environment amongst like minded people. Special thanks to the organizers from Fairchild, and MJBiz Con, humbled by the honor of being nominated for "Journalist" of the year, and so happy for Rachelle Gordon who won (my choice too! LOL) The industry is at critical stage right now as the prohibitionist forces are galvanized and trying to bruise the democratic practice of ballot initiatives in Massachusetts and Maine. NO MORE POINTING FINGERS between the legacy, legal, and h**p markets, if you don't get on board with the One Plant Alliance led by Steve and Andrew DeAngelo, we may not be enjoying the freedoms that we have enjoyed over the past 10 years. I am grateful to be part of history. I am so proud of the team of reporters who are learning the trade by doing great work in the field! Special thanks to Maverick PR and Shawna Seldon McGregor who supports my vision of documenting the fight to end cannabis prohibition in our time. Here's part 1 of our over 2 hours of content created and collected at MJBiz Con 2025! This is a combination of our weekly Cannabis Coast to Coast News with Alaina Pinto and a special report on MJBIZ Con.

In the first section of the Cannabis Coast to Coast News with Alaina Pinto this week, its a recap of the largest cannabis trade show in the world, the 14th a...
